[ST] Re: st-digest V2004 #460



As is typical, there's more games played by SOME dealers than you can
imagine. $26 each would be to diswade you from doing your own maintenance
I'm sure. Of course that's a rip off. On the other end, $3.00 each has got
to be for the dealers supply of used shims from bikes he's worked on. The
dealer pays more than that to stock new shims so even a discounted new shim
would not be that price.
